Watch Sessions From BHT2024

Veterans are everywhere, and they have long been at the forefront of advancing healthcare in America. More than 6% of the U.S. civilian population — nearly 16 million people — are military Veterans, but there’s often a big gap between what Veterans actually need and what non-Veterans think they need. All health organizations are already serving Veterans — whether they realize it or not. Veterans have substantial (and unique) mental health needs, and this culturally and geographically diverse subpopulation would benefit enormously from tailored and relevant behavioral healthcare options. By building awareness and embracing best practices, innovators can connect Veterans with care that improves outcomes and saves lives. In this panel discussion, non-Veterans will join Veterans to share data, insights, and hard-won lessons about accelerating innovative solutions that address the complex needs of Veterans and other subpopulations with distinct experiences.
